ok i admit the point adding stuff was my bad...i can admit when i am wrong ...everything else stands....and you will never be able to answer how come dreampaint ( and many other "winners" got so many points for lighting , perspective and camera set up to fit the mood as stated in the judging criteria!!!!!!
this is useless anyway....exactly as i thought....if you did not got the point you will never will.... wish you a happy new year and let this be the new renderosity mission statement :" ART is in the eye of the beholder" ( translated means "whatever we feel like")

thank you..... this is my point also....

ok this is way off.......

i mean WAY OFF!!!!
Entry # 16 Id: (14446)

1. Originality 43

2. Quality 23

3. Lighting 22

4. Theme 32

Total Score: 120

how come roriel's entry got 43 on originality when 40 was the max amount of points??????
quote:"Each animation or image will be awarded a score from one (1) to ten (10) points in each of the following four (4) areas, for a maximum of fourty (40) possible points." ...either way you wanna take this quote 43 it is impossible......

quote:"
points."

like another member said...quote "lost all credibility"

and so many other entries with 46 and so on????????
ho do you explain that????
you know what don't explain it..... it is very clear what is going on ..............
this is my last post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so all this contest was a joke right?????

since the judges did not falloweed the rules i think ALL THE MEMBERS that had entries should ask for an appeal!!!!!!!!!!!!! a judging that fallows the rules that have been posted prior to the contest!!!!!!!!!!!!

since judges definitly broke the rules i must tell you that you do NOT have any permission to use my entry in any form!!!!!

never thought to see such a cheap thing around here.....

since i can not edit for some reason....i will reply.... found the link to the scores thank you still so many questions unaswered.....got to run now 2005 allmost here

what a diference between the tone in your first post and the second one..... obviously you did not read my post....first because the questions i had where allready there and secondly because i have no fustration since i don't think my piece is in the top 10....but i think other animations are.... secondly i have no further questions..... so i see no reason to IM you since i allready know what you are about to aswer.... answers like "art is in the eye of the beholder" and "this is an age old argument" will get you out of anything....and mean nothing.....this is not a healty way of looking at this issue.....if art is indeed in the eye of the beholder then you should put that in the judging criteria( ex. 100 points for whatever we feel like)......you had that judging criteria to avoid saying this and yet you say it......amazing.... quote" We had several different judges, all of whom had different opinions. We added the scores together and this is how it turned out." ...in this case my respect goes to those different judges.... and since you said i can IM you with any question and you will answer, i think you don't mind to answer me here : how many points got dreampaint's entry for :Quality of the imagery,Lighting and perspective....how about roriels's entry..... and still i can't see the scores....where are they posted? and now please don't ignore my first questions( about the specific scores).....cause i noticed a habbit in answering just the last question..... i totally have no more questions or anything to add at this if you answer my questions here that would be great if not so be it.... and please understand that i am not taking on the people that submited those entries.....i am trying to understand the judging criteria........but again if the art is in the eye of the beholder, then as hamlet would say " the rest is silence"............

and also if you would do as you say and first of all if judges we'll fallow the rules they set up would have saving me some writting..... here is what i am talking about : quote"The combined totals of the Judging panel as a whole, will be posted along with the winners upon completion of the judging process, on the Renderosity website. " can i see that please posted as you said you will???? thank you

lightwave also has a nice demo at

sorry don't know what to say ....i am afraid i can't help you anymore.... i never had this problem before when i installed norton everything was just fine i just turned the windows firewall off.... ind i just tryed to open it right now and i have both of them running at this moment....just a test...so it is working.... did you installed any other antivirus with other firewall or other internet security settings? cause i just remembered that at some point i installed panda antivirus and because i did not stoped norton at that time they got into a huge fight LOL and it crashed my comp anytime i would restart...i could never figure it out to make them run in the same time.....

this is weird....i mean for the firewall to block the images....
anyway to connect to kaza go to norton firewall settings and check the settings for kazaa make sure the firewall dosen't block it....

to turn off your windows firewall you go to : start - control panel , security center and it is there windows firewall...

it is good to turn the windows one off otherwise if you don't know what are you doing they can get in all kinds of arguments about which lets what program to run and stuff....

i totally agree with you Lillian, this is how it is fair...like i allready said it it would have been silly...

Best of luck to all ......

i wrote you 2 IMs not sure if i sent the first one tho....hmmm anyway i am sure the judges will notice everything that is wrong when the time comes.... on the other hand is kinda silly for them not to check the rules and lose just because of some pixels....

i was about tto tellyouthe same thing as Natolii but now i will just second that....
switch to some other browser anyway!!! Firefox is one of the most secured ones...( for windows)

anyway i would check the computer since i used both fire fox and IE and no verizon on my screen......

weird i never got those so my guess is that they come from your computer not from renderosity......i would check the computer for adware. shame on you verizon!!! lol

mmmmm you might try take a first look at "tools-Internet options" then click advance tab and scroll down to multimedia.... make sure evrything is checked there esp "show pictures" hope this is it, and it can be since you reformatted.....

ok thanks, same to you :)
i just reuploaded.....hopefully the right one this time.....
